A question for the Mastodon hive mind. Do you know of any #scifi + #science crossovers #writing about future perspectives? Leaning more, or at least, based more, on the science?

I have an insane idea for a project that could make my worlds* collide... or never happen. Thoughts?

*Harry is my scifi writing (trying) alter ego, by day I'm an actual scientist.

@HarryTuttle In the fashion of H.G.Wells? Or In another sense ala MirrorMask or similar? There are numerous worlds colliding types and Feist's Masters of Glass springs to mind. I am a sci-fi lunatic and read many, many tales of adventures through time, adventures through realms and so on. If there is something out there such as these aforementioned tales, I want to read it. Hope this helps...

@beingextorted I'm thinking more about something, maybe essays, that allow speculation on the relatively near future (50-100 years) that is based on science, but has that "what if" that a #SciFi writer would bring. I'm imagining a collaborate effort in exploring this space.

Sounds like a valuable project. The interesting thing about predictions imo is the light they shed on our shared visions, fears, and dreams - not necessarily their accuracy.

@JoeChip @beingextorted Exactly! At a certain point the accuracy is less important than the societal discussion, any discussion, that they might provoke or motivate.
